I got a new laptop as my old one died: an HP Probook 470 G4.

Did you try CTRL-ALT-F2 or -F3 ? perhaps X has just died (or not been properly started), but that would get you a text-mode consosle from which to work and experiment.
if that works, you could try typing “startx” (lose the quotes). which may provide informative errors. or not.
YMMV
Thanks for your response, but… No, tried it, but that did not work either unfortunately. Louis
Hi Johnny, Yes I still have the laptop. Too nice a machine to send back…
The experimental kernel cannot be installed due to a missing xorg-x11-
drv-vmmouse >= 14.0.0 package. Do you know where can I find that package?
The graphic card may indeed be the problem as the laptop has both a HD
620 in the processor and a Nvidia device 134e (rev A2). with the Fedora
25 kernel loaded, glxinfo reports that the i915 driver could not be loaded and that Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe is used.
The f25 beta kernel does work on CentOS after updating xfs-progs and linux-firmware from f25 Beta (but crashes at a reboot)
I now have the kernel-ml working. I missed updating the linux-firmware from elrepo. I still see errors on a pcieport, but things seem to work fine.
BR, Louis

If you still have the machine available, try using the experimental kernel:
http://mirror.CentOS.org/altarch/7/experimental/x86_64/
Also, what graphic card does it use?
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
